Starting with a Super Five-Star Hotel

Chapter 389: Found an Opportunity_1


"Su Xuan, do you have a good idea already?" Qi Li's eyes shone with light, convinced that Su Xuan must have had some thoughts since he asked such targeted questions.

"Let's analyze this step-by-step." Su Xuan didn't reveal his plan, but said slowly, "Your Floating Cloud Sect and the Spirit-Taming Sect are more or less equal in strength. If a war starts, neither side can wipe out the other in a short time, right?"

"More or less," Qi Li and Lu Dongshan both nodded.

"That means it'll be a war of attrition, so you shouldn't be in a hurry to go back," Su Xuan said.

"But for every extra day the two sects fight, more people will die," Qi Li said worriedly.

"Brother Su, please continue," Lu Dongshan said to Su Xuan, shaking his head at Qi Li. Su Xuan wasn't a member of the Floating Cloud Sect, so his perspective on the issues was definitely more comprehensive. He wouldn't miss the forest for the trees.

"What comes next is simple." Su Xuan looked up at Qi Li and Lu Dongshan. "Capture a key figure, someone who knows the inside story—like the people who were hunting you, or even their leader. Then, bring that person back to expose the truth. The conflict between the two sects will naturally die down."

"That makes a lot of sense," Lu Dongshan nodded, then frowned. "But we're currently on the run from them. If we actively try to capture them, aren't we just asking for trouble?"

"That's still better than being sitting ducks." Su Xuan smiled and then said to Qi Li, "I'll help you figure out a way to capture someone. After all, I still have some influence here. As for you, just focus on healing your injuries so you don't hold us back!"

"Okay!" Encouraged by Su Xuan's gaze, Qi Li felt more at ease and nodded.

After a bit more detailed discussion with the two, Su Xuan drove off.

Ah, it seems I've become an unemployed drifter. Driving through the streets, Su Xuan suddenly smiled bitterly. The first phase of the system's task was to deliver parcels, which made his life increasingly exciting. The second phase was driving for a ride-hailing app, which allowed him to meet many strange people and was also pretty good. But the third phase had no specific tasks, which inevitably left a void in his heart.

But he wasn't complaining about the system. In fact, he preferred the third phase over the previous two! The third phase was a super-powered learning ability! As long as he was willing to put in the effort, he could become a champion in any of the three hundred and sixty trades!

He wasn't just aimlessly wandering the streets right now. He planned to find Zhong Huilan to discuss capturing the key figure, a task for which he would need her assistance. At the same time, he was mulling over how to set a trap to lure out and safely capture the people hunting Qi Li.

And helping Qi Li and Lu Dongshan was also helping himself. After all, he still needed to go into the mountains to find a cure for Richard.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

Suddenly, his phone, which he'd placed on the car's center console, started vibrating. Ever since he stopped working as a driver, he had gotten used to keeping his phone on vibrate.

"Su Xuan, are you free?" Lu Dachun's voice came through as soon as the call connected.

"If you have something to say, just say it!" Hearing his old friend's voice, Su Xuan smiled. Since Lu Dachun had become the regional manager for Shunfeng Express, he seemed to be much busier and hadn't contacted him much.

"Haha, nothing major, but there is one small thing," Lu Dachun said. "I've got a logistics outsourcing contract here, but I'm having a bit of trouble landing it. Could you step in and help me sort it out?"

"What company's outsourcing contract is it?" Su Xuan asked.

"The company's called Rabbit Technology. It's a new company that deals in some sort of cryptocurrency," Lu Dachun explained.

"Cryptocurrency doesn't need logistics, does it?" Su Xuan asked. The prime example of this type of currency is Bitcoin, which is basically what's known as online mining.

"It does," Lu Dachun clarified. "They've also developed something called a Rabbit Machine. It's very cheap, and as long as people buy it, plug it in, and connect it to the internet, it will automatically earn them their cryptocurrency."

"Oh, I see," Su Xuan said. "You want to handle the logistics for their Rabbit Machines."

"Exactly, that's right," Lu Dachun said, then began to butter him up. "You're the boss of multiple companies, a billionaire! If you talk to their boss, you'll definitely be able to help me. They barely give a small fry like me the time of day."

"Logistics is no small matter," Su Xuan laughed. "Their boss wouldn't be taking it lightly, would they?"

"It's not that he doesn't take it seriously. It's just that one of his relatives works for Shentong Logistics—you get what I mean?" Lu Dachun said, frustrated.

"Heh, then your little problem isn't going to be so easy to solve," Su Xuan said. "He'll definitely give the business to his own relative."

"That's exactly why I'm calling you!" Lu Dachun insisted. "You're a man of incredible means! In my eyes, you're even more impressive than that Buffett fellow. When their boss meets you, he'll treat you with the reverence one shows their own grandfather!"

"Hm?" Su Xuan sensed something was off. "Why did you bring up Buffett?"

"You haven't heard?" Lu Dachun asked.

"I just got back from a trip abroad. I haven't kept up with the local news."

"Oh, well, the boss of that Rabbit Technology company wants to spend thirty million to have dinner with Buffett to hype up his cryptocurrency..."

As Lu Dachun explained, Su Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up. It was as if he had just found a way to solve both Lu Dachun's and Qi Li's problems at the same time.

"Dachun, you go to their company and wait. I'll head over in a bit. Your problem is indeed a small one!" Su Xuan hung up the phone with Lu Dachun and immediately drove toward Lycar to pick someone up. That person was none other than Edward, Buffett's own son. Edward had mentioned before that his father would be coming to China for a dinner engagement soon...

「Some time later.」

Lu Dachun arrived at Rabbit Technology first, only to be given a hard time by the receptionist.

"You again?" The receptionist was a woman in her thirties and also a relative of the boss. She spoke sarcastically the moment she saw Lu Dachun. "Our General Manager Wang already said that our company will not be working with you. You should leave. Don't make a fool of yourself!"

"Hmph, just you wait and see!" Lu Dachun shot the woman a look but didn't argue. He sat down in a chair opposite the reception desk to wait for Su Xuan.

"You're so shameless!" the woman sneered, glancing at him. "Like a beggar that you can't even shoo away."

"Hey, I bet you I can win over your General Manager Wang this time," Lu Dachun said, lifting his head to look at her.

"Hah! When have you ever come here *not* claiming you were going to win over our General Manager Wang?" the woman retorted, raising an eyebrow. "And when has he ever not thrown you out?"

Lu Dachun tilted his chin up. "This time will be different!"

The woman scoffed, "If you can actually do it this time, I'll call you Grandpa!"

Lu Dachun replied, "Just you wait!"
